Kicking off National Dairy Month celebrations in Dane County, “Cows on the Concourse” brought community members to do scavenger hunts, use compost for planting and look at – and pet – cows.

“I think a lot of people know that dairy is important to Wisconsin, that we have farms,” Flick said. “They’ve never seen a cow before so by us bringing them here this is their first interaction with a cow.”

Event Chair Sydney Flick said it is their goal to celebrate Wisconsin dairy’s big part in the state’s economy.

The price for the butter so essential to the pastries has shot up in recent months, by 25% since September alone, Delmontel says.
